Seventy Layer Salad (Okay, that’s a wee exaggeration.)

My mom used to make a seven layer salad that everyone raved about when she took it to family gatherings or parties. I always enjoyed it, but never took time to learn how she made it. My father, who has a way of exaggerating things, always called it the Seventy-Layer Salad, mostly to tease my mom, because more is better, right? He’s such a tease, and I think that the more he loves you, the more he teases, so my mother is well-loved, by that standard! But the salad, was good. Recently, I was looking for some new salad ideas, and put the call out to my friends via Facebook, and one of them responded with this recipe, which is very similar to what I remember my mother making. So, the next time you want a hit salad at your next gathering, take this.
